Page 16 - Gods Plan of the Ages
P. 16
is, the summing up of all things in Christ, things in the heavens and things on the earth
in Him.
This present chapter is seeking to convey one foundational truth. It is a point we
cannot neglect. There is an end to the work of Christ. In stating that there is an end, I mean
to convey that there is both a goal and a conclusion to Christ's work. He has come to
reconcile all things to God the Father. The rule of Christ is granted to Him UNTIL He
accomplishes the reconciliation of all things to the Father. "For He must reign until He has
put all His enemies under His feet. The last enemy that will be abolished is death (including
the second death, the lake of fire)." When Yahshua has accomplished the goal of His reign,
then will come the end of the ages.
There are ages yet to come. We do not see the reconciliation of all things in this
present age. This book will look at the ages that preceded this present time, as well as those
that follow. We will examine the role and duration of the lake of fire even as we examined
the role and duration of the Law in the previous book Laying Down the Law.
I entreat those who have read this far to remain patient in examining this subject.
Every question and objection cannot be answered in a single chapter. The author is laboring
to present the matter in a way that will lead to understanding. Precept is laid upon precept.
Those who remain patient will be rewarded. I exhort you to test all that is written. Examine
the many Scriptures cited. Keep your Bible and your heart open that you might discover
truth.
